This might sound weird..

[Animal]

Okay, every night when I lay in bed, when I'm still completely conscious I'll get a picture of something in my head.. almost always it's a sphere and it's spinning on an axis. Sometimes it's other things.. an image of myself on a plane thats spinning with me on the center, etc. I have to concentrate hard and by maintaining concentration I can keep the image still.. but my face starts to tense up and the area around my noes and under my eyes gets really hot. Does anyone have any idea what im talking about or familiar with anything like this?

Hmm...it is weird.

Have you tried going to the doctor?

My suggestion for this sort of thing is just let it be. Don't concentrate to the point your face turns purple, probly not healthy for ya. Learn lucid dreaming, you'll be extremely happy you did.
